Yeah. Environmentalism, workers rights, social justice. Totally Milei's core issues /s.

You understand that Milei is creating a libertarian Bartertown hellscape that absolutely will not be investing in public infrastructure, but is in fact privatizing the existing public infrastructure, right?

Expensive, unsafe, unreliable, and probably paying fantastic dividends to their shareholders.
